The Department of Primary Industries (Queensland) ensures that Queensland’s primary industries—the essential backbone of our economy and communities—are productive, profitable and sustainable for future generations.

We do this by connecting industries, the community and government to grow our economy, protect our primary industries from biosecurity threats, and support rural communities.

This includes:

supporting farmers and agribusinesses to improve productivity and profitability by unlocking new opportunities, managing risks, building industry resilience and improving market supply chains.
protecting our environment, economy, communities and lifestyle from biosecurity risks, and preventing and responding to pests and diseases.
managing fisheries resources to balance industry growth, recreational fishing for our Queensland lifestyle, and environmental sustainability.
responsibly managing selective harvesting in state-owned native forests throughout Queensland, and the sale of timber and other forest products to support positive economic, environmental and cultural outcomes.
